Yes, those are perks. I am leaving to eliminate stress. I really love the people I work with though and my senior managers and partners have invested a lot of time training me because when I started, I definitely was partner material. And then burnout happened...can't get past it.

Any good mentor will support you doing what is best for your career. They don't mentor you with the expectation that you will never quit even if you burn out, so no reason to feel guilty. Make sure you show them the appreciation you so clearly feel and keep in touch with them after you leave. They will look forward to seeing you thrive in your new role.

They didn’t even give you a fast track promotion did they?

This is a regular thing and it’s the fucking weekend. I could use a break.
